Nice and neat engine bay there Perko. I love the look of the Yella Terra plennum, is it the same sort of finish as the stock one or is it a bit smoother, it certainly looks smoother. I like the computer cover too, where did you get that?
Nice power as well, have to be happy with that!

Wow that's a great result. Is that with the exhaust system changed as well?
Where'd he set the limiter at?

Cams should do wonders. Are they Herrod's?

Edit: You need a new signature

Thanks mate. The YT unit is a bit smoother. The overall finish of the unit was a bit disappointing when I got it considering the price. However they are worth then money if you are after improved torque, mid-range and throttle response. Plus they make the engine bay look tough!

The computer cover is just one of the alloy ones of eBay. I then sanded it back a bit and sprayed matt black on it. Nice cheap fix and a good addition to the engine bay.

Pretty happy with the power. More happy with the characteristics of the engine. Idles very smooth. Not like my last tune. The power is quite linear for a Boss and the torque just keeps coming. When you compare this dyno sheet with the ute even the power curve is so much smoother. And this is certainly reflected in how it drives. Very happy with the work done by Elite. Cost a bit more but worth it.

Yes mate exhaust changed. Have HM headers and cats. Then 2.5 inch X-Force exhaust. Nice note an freed up the motor nicely. Limiter set at 6500rpm but rarely get there. No need to with how the power is delivered.

Been thinking a fair bit about the cams. Had my heart set on Herrod's. But after talking to Tim he has been recommending a Blue Power set (if I remember right). It will still give me the torque and mid-range I am chasing but with better power gains and are easier to tune. Haven't heard anything bad about the Herrod cams in the past so this intrigued me. Will certainly be doing more research on this before deciding. Have plenty of time as I will not be getting them until the end of the year. Got to get focused on Reno's before the wife tears me a new one!

Got some new coil covers sent over from the States direct from a Ford dealership. Decided to stay with the factory look for the engine so I kept it simple. Painted them matte black. I was going to paint the lettering silver but decided against it. Bit hard to pick up in the photos. Looks much better in the flesh. Now thinking about doing the same to the oil breathers.
